As you may know, Starbucks is in a battle with McDonald’s to capture the early morning coffee customer. Last month, our location

ankoles [38]

Answer:

1) B) I'll be sharing some special sales tips with you tomorrow that will make your job easier.

2) B) Your goal for this month is to sell 10% more lattes, and you will receive a reward if you reach it.

3) C) Two days off with pay

Explanation:

1) The <em>E->P expectancy</em> is related to the concept of investing effort into something that you know will lead to the desired performance. It is the part of the expectancy theory that is not related to rewards.

In this example. the goal (task) is to increase sales. The E->P expectancy is the probability that Ethan's efforts will result in the desired performance (increased sales). By giving sales tips to Ethan, he will get more self-esteem and know-how and believe that his effort will in fact result in the desired outcome.

Although this is an overlooked part of the expectancy theory sometimes, it is crucial. Despite the appeal of a particular reward, an employee may not get increased motivation if he/she thinks that the task itself cannot be completed.

2) The <em>P->O expectancy</em> is related to rewards, and it states that employees will get motivated if the desired performance will result in a reward. In this case, Emma's putting the goal (10% increased sales) in direct relation with a reward.

3) Since the Motivation Report states that Ethan is motivated by time off, two days off with pay is the most appealing reward for him. The money bonus is more appropriate for Jon, while a choice of work assignments is better for Blair.

You are looking at three different job options, one in Pennsylvania, one in Texas, and one in New York. The offers are as follow

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Texas will be a better option as the net pay after income tax is higher than the other cities.

Explanation:

To consider the after-tax wages we must subtract the income taxes from the salaries:

Pennsylvania after tax income: 62,000 x (1-3.07%) = 60,096.6

Texas after tax income: 64,000

New York after tax income: 68,000 x ( 1 - 6.85%) = 63,342

Wewaii [24]

Answer:

Dr interest expense 74,812.50

Cr Cash 71,820

Cr Discount on bonds payable 2,992.50

Explanation:

the cash interest payments = principal x coupon rate x 1/2 (semiannual) =$1,197,000 x 12% x 0.5 = $71,820

since the bonds were sold at a discount, we must add the discount amortization = [($1,197,000 x 5%) / 10 years] x 1/2 = $5,985 x 0.5 = $2,992.50

total interest expense = $71,820 + $2,992.50 = $74,812.50

So the journal entry should be:

Dr interest expense 74,812.50

Cr Cash 71,820

Cr Discount on bonds payable 2,992.50

Jeff Co. sells its giant cheese wheels for $36 per wheel. The contribution margin ratio is 75% and total fixed costs are $270,00

Damm [24]

Answer:

Level of sales in dollars in order to generate a profit of $54,000 Fixed cost + Target profit/Contribution per unit $270,000 + $54,0000/0.75

= $432,000

Number of units to be sold

= Level of sales/Selling price

= $432,000/$36

= 12,000 units

The correct answer is A

Explanation:

In this case, we need to calculate level of sales in dollars, which is fixed cost plus target profit divided by contribution margin ratio. Then, we will calculate no of units to be sold, which is the level of sales divided by selling price.

Pettit Ice Cream Company produces various ice cream products for which demand is highly seasonal. The company sells more ice cre

Rashid [163]

Answer:

a) Fixed costs = $22,000

b) $70,000

c) The high low cost method is generally inaccurate because it only considers the extremes, the highest and lowest costs and activity levels. Generally costs are not linear, but they might follow a certain tendency. The advantages of the high low cost method is that it is fairly accurate when costs are stable, plus it is much simpler to calculate.

d) Assuming that costs follow a certain tendency, regression analysis is much more exact since it analyses the relationship between different data and different variables. When you analyze only 2 variables, a linear regression analysis will serve you. but if you need to analyse more than two variables, then you must use a multiple regression analysis.

The R² statistic basically measures how one variable's variance is affected by other variables. E.g. if R² is 0.75, then 75% of the variance of A will be explained by the variance of B.

Explanation:

variable cost using high low cost method = (highest activity cost - lowest activity cost) / (highest activity level - lowest activity level) = ($82,000 - $46,000) / (50,000 - 20,000) = $36,000 / 30,000 gallons of ice cream = $1.20 per gallon of ice cream

fixed costs = $82,000 - (50,000 x $1.20) = $22,000

40,000 gallons

$22,000 + (40,000 x $1.20) = $70,000

how regression analysis improves accuracy of high low cost method
